White Castle is offering more than Original Sliders
24-hours-a-day at its rebuilt store on Hilliard-Rome Road south of Hilliard.

The Columbus fast-food company is
looking to the future with touch screens for ordering food, a sit-down counter
with a view of goings-on in the kitchen and a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine like those
popping up
all over town that dispenses more than 100 drinks.

“As we explore new locations to open Castles, we know how important it
is to reinvest in the cities where we’re currently located," said Chris Shaffery, White Castle
regional director, in a statement. "As a family-owned business for more than 90 years, we’ve
learned to listen to the feedback from our Cravers and to offer new innovations to make the White
Castle experience more memorable than ever before.”

Will this become the prototype for future White Castles? "Right now, this is a concept
restaurant that could be replicated in the future," said spokesman Todd Hutchins.
